Woo hoo.  We got some space on ESPN.com  You can find the link here.  They change the content frequently, so if you miss it, here it is:

Hey strangers.  I had the misfortune of having to take a long and relaxing cruise to Alaska, thus the radio silence.  (but don’t worry, a 5 hr slide show is on the way.)

I wanted to draw your attention to the latest issue of Inside Lacrosse (August 2008).  As you know, last year, I did a year-long photo essay of the varsity men’s lacrosse team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  It was a ton of work, but very gratifying to do.  One of the most gratifying results is a 9 page spread that Inside Lacrosse magazine, where I am a frequent photo contributor, published in this latest issue.  I had been in talks with Inside Lacrosse’s art director James Schaffer since as early as September or October about the possibility of doing a spread in IL.  At the time, I didn’t know if the project would even be successful or would reach fruition. Also, the story could always be displaced by other stories if a major event broke in lacrosse.

So other than my discussions with Inside Lacrosse and UNC sports information director Dave Lohse, I told not a soul that the photos could eventually find their way into the printed version of IL.  I told not even the coaches or players.  I only told them about 2 weeks ago when I knew the magazine had literally gone to the printing presses with the article included.

I’m really excited about the end result.  The editors decided to publish 9 pages for the story, a good 2 to 3 more photos that I ever expected.  Also used was a photo on the table of contents page.

If you are a UNC Lacrosse fan and want to order a back copy, you can do so on this order form.

Of course, you are a subscriber anyway, right?

Yesterday I posted photos from the actual game of Hopkins vs. Duke.  Today I posted some of by favorite photos of the “behind the scenes” of the team.  I picked out about 40 photos from both the trip to play Ohio State in Ithaca and Hopkins at the Final Four.  The photos include the team traveling, in the locker room, in their hotel room, during team building exercises and other events.  So it’s a real 360 of the guys.  Feedback always appreciated.

You can view the photos as a flash gallery here.

Or if you like the old fashioned thumbnail gallery, you can get that too.

Yeah, I know.  The game was like a month ago and I just now have them up.  Am I lazy?  No, not so much.  I traveled up with Duke and after they lost, I was in a funk and didn’t want to even look at the pictures for the longest time.  Then, I have been traveling fairly heavly for my “real job”.  So my time was really limited.

But now, you can find for your viewing pleasure, photos from the NCAA semifinals.
